Tenugui towels are traditional Japanese cotton cloths that are thin, smooth, and quick-drying, making them very different from thick Western terrycloth towels. Today they’re just as commonly used for decoration as for everyday utility, thanks to the beautiful patterns and designs found throughout Japan.
This Fire Flies tenugui is an inexpensive and fun piece to collect or gift. At our office, we often hang tenugui on the wall or use them as decorative table runners. You’ll find similar towels in gift shops and specialty stores all across Japan, each with its own unique design and character.
Care Instructions: Dyed tenugui will fade slightly during the first few washes. Wash separately with a gentle detergent, lightly squeeze after washing to smooth wrinkles, and air dry. Both ends are left unhemmed by design and will gradually fray; simply trim loose threads as needed - the fraying will naturally stop and form a soft fringe.
